I need to make some furniture. I need a chair and a table.

I use the woodd form my rafts and the ships. It

takes five days to make them. Then I make more furniture for the cave. I put my clothes and guns in the
cave too. I am very happy when my work is finished. The cave is comfortable now. Everything is well
organized. I can easily find what I need. I decide to write a book about my life on the island. I describe
my days in the island. I start with my first day on the island. I write everything what I remember. I also
write what I think. It is good when I write my thoughts on paper.

When I start, I write one page every day. But when I get to the present, I write only one page every
week. I write only important things.

After some time on the island my life is well organized. But my life is never boring. I have always some
work.

Every morning, I walk around the island. Then I work. I have lunch at noon. Then I sleep,but not very
long. Then I continue with my work. I relax or write my book in the evening. I make my cave bigger and
bigger. I want to have a big cave.

The cave is my kitchen, living room and sometimes a bedroom. When the cave is finished, a lot of earth
falls one side. I am not in the cave, when it happens. If a lot of earth falls on me, I can die. I clean the
cave. Then I decide to put long board on the sides and also on the top. I donot want to have this happen
again. The work takes one week.

In December, I continue with my work in my small camp.The weather is not very good. It rains all the
days. But it is still warm. So I work inside. It is never cold on the island. It is good for me. At the end of
the December, I kill a goat. I also hurt another goat. Her leg is broken. The goat cannot walk. I help the
goat. After two weeks, the goat is not scared. The goat eats from my hand. In January , I travel through
the island. I find more goats in the centre of the island. The animals are very shy. It is difficult to get
close to them. I want to domesticate some goats. I only need a good opportunity for it. I have a plan.
The next day, I return with my dog. I think that my dog can help me hunt. I tell my dog, sit down, wait.
Donot move.’

Chapter-12 Corn

When the goats are between me and my dog, I hide behind a tree. Then I shout at my dog, come here.
My dog runs to me and goats too. I wait in my position behind the tree. When one goat runs close to
me, I jump and catch her leg. I hold her right leg. But then the goat kicks me with her left leg. She kicks in
my nose. It is a horrible pain. I can not hold the goat and the goat runs away. We are not successful. This
is not the best method how to catch a goat. We have to find a better method.

I tell my dog, Let’s go home. I need to relax. I work on my fence from January to March. It takes me a
long time because I want to make the fence very strong. During this time, I find big birds on the Island.
Their homes are not in the trees. They live in holes which are between rocks. It is easy to catch them.
Their meat is great. I can also cook and eat their eggs. When I work on the fence, I find a small bag. I
remember corn in the bag. But now I see only some leaves in the bag. I take the bag outside my camp. I
empty the bag because I need the bag for gun powder. This happens before the rains.

A month later, I find some green leaves in that place. It is young corn. I am so happy. The corn grows
near my home. It is fantastic. I can bake bread in future. Something happens in March. I am inside my
cave when piece of the earth fall from the top of the cave. I am scared. My work on the cave can be lost.
I run outside the cave. I see that the ground starts to shake. It is an earthquake. It is an earthquake. I am
shocked and scared. Some big stones fall from the hills. But I lucky. They donot hit my tent. The
earthquake is finished soon. But I donot want to go inside the cave. I am scared. I sit on the ground
before my tent. I think, ‘ Maybe, it is dangerous to sleep in the cave. It is dangerous if another
earthquake comes. But I donot want to sleep in the tent. So I decide to make a house. I start to built a
house in April. It takes three months to build the house. But I am happy with my new home. I am ill in
the last week of July. I have a temperature. I canot get out of the bed. I am very weak. I can do nothing
in this stage. I have crazy dreams. The dreams are not very logical. But for me they are real when I have
them.
